All the nurses, who give the shots, are wonderful. I've gotten to know several of them over the years. The front desk is very kind and professional. They always help me out with my appointments. This location is nice because I have other medical Dr.'s in the same location. Makes it convenient for me.

I don't know What on earth has happened to PAMF Sutter Health?…read moreSutter Health needs to be broken up. It has gotten too big. Now it is only focusing on making money not patients care. This place is providing the worst care to patients now. The quality of overall care continues to get worst. I have been PAMF Sutter Health patient over 15 years and PAMF does not provide the care they used to. Patients have to wait 3 plus months to see doctors and Sutter is replacing doctors with nurse practitioners. It is time to break the monopoly.

Honestly, the only positive thing I can say about this location is the pharmacy. I've never had to…read morereally wait very long for anything and it is smaller and much closer to me because I live in Mountain View. I don't want to have to drive all the way into Santa Clara to pick up prescriptions. So the convenience of the pharmacy is the only good thing about this location for me. When it comes to their pediatrics and gynecological services, I was most disappointed and wound up switching to doctors for my daughter and myself, at the Santa Clara location. First of all because this is a small building, their examination rooms reflect this in that they are tiny and borderline claustrophobic. Another thing I was unimpressed with was the lack of updating and cleanliness. Everything seemed dated and a little rough around the edges, which is interesting. I was very unhappy with the final appointment I made for my baby at this location. Instead of taking her to an examination room to administer her shots, they literally brought us back into what appeared to be something like nurse quarters, and we sat at a desk. My daughter was propped up onto the desk and that's where they gave her, her shots. It was strange, uncomfortable, and confusing. It was a weird vibe to be honest. Especially because even though we are at the doctors office, this space did not seem clean enough to be administering shots. I had always been taken back to an examination room with my daughter, so this was just a weird experience overall. Moving on to my final gynecological appointment at this location..,right off the bat, I was made to feel extremely uncomfortable by the nurse who brought me back to the examination room. She looked absolutely miserable. She hardly looked at me in the face and looked like she was angry/annoyed to be working. Almost like I was inconveniencing her by having an appointment. Most of us ladies aren't exactly thrilled to be going to the gynecologist either, but typically nurses tend to put you at a little bit more ease. And this nurse should probably find a different job if this is how she approaches patients. Now, even though my appointment was very thorough, my gynecologist discovered an ovarian cyst that needed to be monitored. The problem is while she voiced this information to me, she never entered this information or details from this appointment, into my records. So years later, when I continue to have issues with this cyst, I have had to explain to subsequent doctors that this ovarian cyst was discovered in 2023, and that my gynecologist at the time, never entered it into her notes. It's very inconvenient and unprofessional for that to have happened. So in the end, after weird and unprofessional interactions in pediatrics and gynecology, plus the fact that the exam rooms are tiny, I decided it was best to return to doctors at the Santa Clara location. Examination rooms are always small, but the ones at the Santa Clara location are definitely bigger and more accommodating.

Would you wait in line 2+ hours? Guardians of the Galaxy, or Taylor Swift tickets yes, but covid19…read morevaccine? Sept 9, 2024 first day of the new covid vaccine comes out at Kaiser, with people lined up at 8am, even though they don't open until 9am. No appointments needed -first come first served with one exception. If you are covered by Kaiser and go to Safeway, the vaccine will cost you $80. If you go to CVS it will cost you $120. Those places got the vaccine a week earlier. Medicare no longer covers the cost of the vaccine for those 65+, and the federal government no longer provides free covid vaccines for everyone else. We last got the vaccine in May 2024, but that was the same vaccine we got in Sept 2023. The Sept 9 2024 vaccine is for the new covid variants. The Mountain View Kaiser medical center is open 9am-430pm weekdays only, and closed weekends. Those of you still working will have to go to Santa Clara medical center open later hours and on weekends. We got in line at 11:15am, with the line winding around and into the building. Free wifi outside the building courtesy of city of Mountain View, covering all of the downtown area. Takes us until 1:30 to get the vaccine. There are four stations for getting the vaccine, but at times two of the stations are vacant, as the employees are out to lunch. People in wheelchairs or pushing four wheel walkers get to go to the head of the line, along with their handlers, without waiting. Security let at least 8 people jump ahead of us, even though we were waiting 2 hours in line already. At the vaccine station they look up your age, and base the amount of vaccine dose on your age. Next time, will have to check if I have any four wheeled walkers left used by my late parents.

So I'm a teen who's struggled with depression and anxiety in my life. My parents made me attend a…read moreprogram called ASPIRE, which you may or may not heard of. It's a group therapy program meant for people like me who struggle with mental illnesses and uses a thing called DBT. The program is 10 weeks for middle schoolers and 8 for high schoolers, but there's a 2 week period before that, so technically it's even longer. During the program, I felt pressured to pretend everything was okay, just to avoid confrontation with the staff and an even longer period of stay. I have trauma, but I feel like it was ignored by staff, simply being told to "use coping skills" despite the fact I feel more comfortable doing them by myself. I have issues discussing things with my family in the room, specifically my parents, but I was forced to do so, despite the fact it's a trigger for both my trauma and anxiety. One of the staff there even triggered an episode for me, too, pressuring me into saying I had an addiction despite the fact that I didn't, and guilted me into saying I had one during our unit on negative addiction. I've had my stuff taken away from me multiple times, which has consistently been a small backpack with a sketchbook, personal sketchbook for coping, pen and pencil, and a book for reading. It was called a "schoolbag" by the staff, which they had to take away because they don't want me doing homework, despite the fact I was mostly in the program during the summer. Additionally, the skills we were leaning for coping were things I already knew and was using, and the program taught us, how I like to describe it, how to be a human being. The environments there aren't great either. The room you're in for the first two weeks has gray walls and flooring, and is very cold. There's no table either, and you sit in chairs in a circle while the staff member explains things with a whiteboard. There's no windows in this room. After that, there's two other rooms you use. There's a meeting room, which has one wall with windows, and fluctuated between hot and cold. There's also a whiteboard here for the staff to write on. There's a table here and the colors of the room are bright compared to the first one. The next room is meant for creatives, like making art and projects in the program. This is the best room, since it has decorated walls and two walls with windows on them. There's also a whiteboard in here, and the walls are a similar color to the last room. This room is cold, but only a little. The break room is for in between lessons, and has one wall with windows and is colored like the last two rooms. It's small and doesn't fit the amount of people in it well. The temperature changes in here too. At the end of the program, they made me fill out a sheet on who I could contact when I needed help, and they had me show it to my parents. By now, I think you can assume I have trauma stemming from negative experiences with my family, so I didn't feel comfortable doing this. However, since they forced me to do so (with the threat of more of this program looming over my head), I did it regardless of how I felt. At the end of it all, they said I didn't qualify for medication for any of my illnesses and disorders, and all I can assume is that because they thought I got better in the program and by the end it wasn't bad enough to assign any, despite the fact it got worse afterwards a few months later I proceeded to engage in self harm. In fact, the program made me feel worse than I had felt going into it, since not only did staff take away my methods of coping and trigger episodes of anxiety, depression, and trauma, everyone else in the program actually had genuine problems, which resulted in me feeling like my problems were insignificant and didn't matter, furthering my problems. Luckily, they referred me to a new therapist (I had been seeing one before ASPIRE) who I actually felt comfortable with, and I was able to open up to. One of the positives that came out of this, other than possibly more trauma, is that I got officially diagnosed with autism. Honestly, I'm happy I was able to get this diagnosis, since I've always had little quirks, but I didn't know why before they told me. But other than that, the program was horrible for my mental health, despite how they say they help people get better. I felt like staff didn't care for me, and that they disregarded my reactions to things and situations. With staff triggering episodes for me, and some actually seeing it happen in front of them, I got little to no comfort from them. They didn't care that having to talk about my problems in front of my family was a trigger for me, and that it was a huge issue for my mental state, despite the fact it happened multiple times. If you care about your kids wellbeing, send them somewhere else. Even the patients I was with hated it there, and were there because family forced them to go, much like mine.

My podiatrist could not even believe that the woman used the scissor that she used two years later my nail has fallen off. It is giving me nothing but problems since that point I had had a broken toe so it made me walk weird and it affected that toe.

I had slipped and fallen on my knee hard that it split opened requiring stitches. The PA even said she could see the tendon. Making the appt was very easy that I was able to schedule an appt within an hour of my accident. When I arrived, I was greeted by the receptionist. She was very professional, no complaints at all. The nurse assistant was very pleasant as well. Took my vitals and gingerly cleaned my opened wound and said I was overdue for a tetenus. Nurse practitioner came in and she was very pleasant from the get-go. As she was stitching me up, we had similar funny stories to share that we both laughed and it really made time go fast and she did a really nice job. Another nurse assistant came in and gave me my tetanus shot and he, too, was pleasant and professional. I didn't really have to wait long to see the nurse assistant and then the nurse practitioner. I was probably there about 45-60 min in total, pretty fast considering they had to take my vitals, stitch me up and then give me the tetanus shot. I had a very pleasant experience. Everyone I met was very professional, kind, caring and most of all, my wait time was very minimal. Everything went smoothly which you would think would be the opposite on Friday the 13th (superstitious day). I *highly* recommend this facility. Environment was clean and tidy, and everyone was pleasant and extremely professional and caring.
